As someone who moved to Mumbai for work, the traffic and air quality are a real shock. It's good to see public figures highlighting these basic civic needs. Hope people vote for issues, not personalities.

She's right about ambulances getting stuck. Last month, we had a medical emergency in Dadar and lost precious minutes because of waterlogged roads and traffic. BMC needs to prioritize emergency corridors.

While I appreciate the sentiment, it's easy for celebrities to say this after casting their vote. The real challenge is for common citizens to hold corporators accountable for 5 years, not just on election day. We need better grievance redressal systems.

The low voter turnout is worrying. If we want better roads and water supply, we must first step out and vote. Every vote counts in local body elections – these people directly impact our daily lives.

Clean air should be top priority! My child has developed breathing issues since we moved to Mumbai. We need long-term environmental policies, not quick fixes. Hope the new corporation takes this seriously. 🌳
